What “next?” There is no “next” except for Blandy, who said very little of substance and is obviously not well prepared for this position. It was painful to watch that performance. And Altmann has no choice but to work with Bean… unless she doesn’t want to get the job.

I don’t quite understand this process that, in the end, produces 2 mediocrecandidates that would either be puppets or ill qualified. Certainly there area dozen other internal UO people that have the same qualifications (mediocre/puppet/not well prepared)

why not give us a dozen interviews to evaluate (we, the faculty, might actually givea shit about this) rather then giving us only two.

I therefore agree with the earlier sentiment of the all mighty UOmatters in thatthe provost’s office really doesn’t care what we, the faculty, think. And JH repeatedlywonders why the faculty are collectively pissed off and unhappy. duh.
